Player ratings did matter in those blowouts that Steve mentioned. What happens when these WRs: A WR1 86 Rocket Ismail Jr OK 3 6-1 210 84 86 84 58 94 84 88 88 84 86 85 61 96 85 91 90 A WR2 82 Alex Brown OK 1 5-10 206 84 85 84 60 95 84 87 88 84 86 85 61 96 86 91 91 A WR3 83 Gunner Gentry OK 2 6-2 202 ...

Yes it did, but keep in mind the most winning teams got most of the "blue chip" which compounded the problem. And the blue chips were more than 10 ratings points better... Keep in mind the most successful teams recruited well, while the less successful teams often had painful recruitment....

DL executing a zone is LEGAL & REALISTIC. It's a common means to executing a zone blitz. i.e. when the team blitzes a linebacker or defensive back, then drops a defensive lineman into pass coverage. Be careful with wide player ratings. I think it inevitably resulted in the extreme blowouts in t...

1. We need less wonderful drafts with much wider spreads in actual and potential. I repeat, go look at those rosters. They are all on the site. 2. We also need older players to retire a bit more. I know there is no movement for that though. 3. But if we truly want to return to some better looking s...

This makes sense and we should seriously consider this, after limiting use of 2-DL defenses, in the off-season. I actually kind of agree with Dean. I think the PS, PM, and PL requirements on 3rd down are meaningless. I don't want to require a higher weight for these categories on these downs though ...

However, the way we are able to use 2 categories now, you can set it up where 96% of the time a particular defensive category is called in any given situation (ex PM 10, PM 10, RL 1). Theoretically, that's really on using 1 defensive category. Is this allowed? Or would it have to be PM 10, PS 1, RL...

... Not to restrict innovation, I would be willing to consider DL drops to pass coverage (one DL only), but restrict those plays to Pass Long. [/quote] That would be reasonable compromise...there is apparently limited use of this in the NFL. A couple seasons ago I experimented with a defense that u...

promote HB Barry J. Sanders to active roster

PS will look like:

DE Anthony Nelson
CB Deatrick Nicholas
LB Krys Barnes

HB Carlos Hyde

The rule change Charlie proposed is a very modest change in the zone rules, it affects ONLY the second (yellow) receiver in medium passing plays, PML, PMM, and PMR. I modified a couple plays accordingly and tested them in 100 games and obtained the following stats: play comp/att yards avg fum int sa...
